Thankfulness At It's Finest

It has been a while since my previous post, but iv'e been a little busy. I have given some thought to how much I have to be thankful for. Tommorow my dear cousins, aunt, and uncle will be arriving at our house to spent the week with us. For about 5 years now this has become the most loved Davis-Amarante tradition out of the many. We always have a blast even if things don't always go as we expect it. Think about that for a sec, if everything went exactly how you expected, would life be any fun? i don't think so.
One thing i am thank full for is the fact that I have a family to be thankful with, not everybody does. I won't spoil the suprises you will see on my thankfulness feathers. One thing I will say is I am thankful that the Packers are 8-1!!! Yay! Peace and love folks, see you later.

Back to Camp

Not expecting to go to camp for another year, my church is holding a retreat there. I will be gone all weekend, untill my return on sunday afternoon. It will be very fun i'm sure, and a good break from everything around me. Including myself, there will be 29 students attending, and hopefully it won't rain the whole time.
So leave me comments and i will see them when i get back. Spread the love.

Back With a Bang

If an adventure for you is climbing a big tree, than cool, go for it, but remember, there is always a greater challenge to take.

Many of you reading this, were probably expecting another wonderfully written, sport story, or 5 step to , well, i'm getting there. Within a matter of a few days or less, there will be the big story written up, and that my freinds is why this is entitled, "Back With a Bang". Peace... :)

5 Steps To A Good Baseball Game Wave

1. BUY CHEAP SEATS, these seats often have drinkers who catch on to the wave quite quickly and are very tipsy.

2. BRING YOUR FREINDS, bringing 4 or 5 of your buddies will increase the chances of starting a good wave. If you and your buddies start it, your section of seats will catch on, spreading throught the park for the ideal effect of a ball game wave.

3. WAIT FOR A LULL, don't do the wave during an interesting or exiting part of the game, such as a big hit or home run. wait for a mound meeting or and long at bat. this will make the crowd thirsty for exitment, thus the perfect time for the wave.

4. GO FOR THE END, shoot for the last half of the game to perform the wave, the crowd is a bit tired or drunk and will be more motivated to do the wave properly.

5. SHOW YOUR ENERGY, if you come off as an energetic and fun person, people will take to you and want to do the wave with you and ask you to do it again and again increasing the amount of partisipants.

Green Bay "packed" away by Jaguars

After Green Bay's win in Seattle, 48 - 13, they lost at home with Jacksonville, 21 - 13. Veteran quarterback, Brett Favre has been doing a wonderful job after some say he was slipping. The Packers now have 2 wins and 1 loss, which isn't bad, and it's only the pre-season.

After a slow first quarter, Green Bay earned ten points to take the lead. The lead was swept away in the third quarter, when the Jaguars got fourteen points. The Packers had hope in the fourth quarter, when they gained three points, but Jacksonville got seven points to seal the deal.

Michael Vick "Chewed Up"

Some think it's funny, others think it's offensive, but either way the new dog chew toy that resembles Michael Vick is appropriate for his crime. You can get one for your dog online at vickdogchewtoy.com. Vick deserves this humiliation, training dogs to fight and be violent, is honestly barbaric. If he can't find better use of his time, then that's pretty sad. He is still fighting in court as of now, but officials still don't know what to do with these un-naturally violent dogs. We will just need to wait and watch.

"The Scooter" Rolls On

On Monday, at the complete age of 89, Phil Rizzuto died. Among the best shortstops, he also was honored as a broadcaster for the New York Yankees for decades. In respect of his death, yesterday at Yankee Stadium, his former home field, the Yankees wore the number 10 on their sleeves to remember him. He was inducted into the Hall of Fame as an MVP, and a player winning in seven World Series and nine Pennants.

His body build was not large at all, only weighing 150 and 5' 6" tall. In his career he batted .273 and stole 149 bases. Being as successful as he was as a rookie, he became a replacement in shortstop for Frank Crosetti. Boston Red Sox great, Ted Williams, often said the reason that the Yankees beat them so many times in the American League pennant race, was because of Rizzuto. Rissuto played a big role in baseball both on the field and off, we will always remember him.

3x history

Alex Rodriguez has finally done it, 500 homers, taking him 10 days to jump from 499 to the title. 500 is big, that's alot of home runs for one man to hit. Very few men can reach that many, one being Barry Bonds who hit 756 the other day, breaking Hank Aaron's record for home runs in a career, which reminds us of Tome Glavine pitching 300 wins in his career. These three, no matter what it took them to get the have made history, and history is history.

Hidenwood

Today was fun because I went to my friend Ben's pool party at Hidenwood pool. It was really fun, we had a diving contest, water basketball game, and dunking war; and the best part was, it was all unorganised :). Ben, Justin, Erik, Chris, and Myself had a great time. We would munch on cookies and chips, and drink during the 15 minute adult swim break that took place every 45 minutes.

After all is said and done, today was a good day. [comment this entry] [and the other ones that have 0 comments]
